The correct spelling is panelling.
'let in flush' sounds strange to me.
I'd say, 'installed flush with the panelling'.

Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence from Huxley’s “Crome Yellow”?
It was just an ordinary door let in flush with the pannelling.
flush = so as to be even, in one plane, or aligned with a margin
let in flush with the pannelling = placed on the same level with the pannelling of the wall so as to make the door quite untoceiable
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.

Typo for "set in"?
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
